anyone have info on how I-45 out of Houston is right now. Trying to decide if it would be better to wait until tonight to leave houston.

my source says he spent 11 hours to get from downtown to bush airport. The contraflow is suppose to start about 10 miles north of there which should help a lot once you get to it.

I hear that there are thousands of cars that are out of gas on 45. Family told me that people are camped out on the side of the road waiting for gas. Anyone know someone that made it to dallas/ft worth today on 45 and how long?

My brother made it to FW this morning after 26 hours

what time did he leave? from where?

4:00 a.m on Thursday from the Rice University Area. Things seem to go much better for him when he was finally able to cut over to I-35.

he take 287 to I-35?
